A histochemical study of the nervous system in trematode parthenitae

Localization of catecholamines in the nervous system of 12 species of Trematodes parthenitae from marine mollusks has been studied using the method of glyoxilic acid-induced fluorescence. Unlike primitive species with orthogon-like distribution of catecholamines, specialized ones have diffuse nervous plexus, which can be reduced in most specialized forms.
